Going through today’s list of announcements and emails something quite interesting came across my desk today. Netmarble Games, one of the best known mobile game companies in Asia, has announced that their mobile MMORPG Lineage2 Revolution attained something pretty cool. Having launched last week in Japan, the game quickly made its way to the #1 spot in the local App Store’s grossing chart in less than 24 hours.

Based on the popular PC online game Lineage 2, Lineage2 Revolution is the game’s free-to-play mobile MMORPG equivalent. The mobile game is developed using the Unreal 4 engine and stays true to the PC original through open fields, castle sieges, classes and more.

Also worth noting is Lineage2 Revolution also set a new record by becoming the #1 grossing game in the shortest time among the Korean games launched in Japan. Since the game’s release Netmarble has already added 20 additional servers bring the total server number to 20. We’re told that gamers in the United States market can expect to see the game sometime in the second half of this year, which is pretty exciting.
